Counting your blessings

There's this song that I love from the movie "White Christmas" that I think applies all year long.

"When I'm worried and I can't sleep, I count my blessings instead of sheep 
and I'll fall asleep counting my blessings."

I can hear Bing Crosby singing it in the movie 
and my dad humming it whenever things are rough.

It's a great reminder on how lucky I am
even though my situation is pretty crappy at times.

My greatest blessing right now happens to be a one-year-old little girl.
I have the opportunity to play with her three times a week and get paid for it.

It's a two-way blessing because her parents needed me when I found them.

You can find me going to all sorts of places in Salt Lake with her.
Children's Museum
Walks at the park, feeding the geese is a MUST
Of course, everyone's favorite is the train at the zoo. 
I've been so blessed to have several great friends, family, and opportunities surround me.
I can't but help share them and think that I'm the luckiest girl ever.

"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts 
our hearts are conscious of our treasures."
~Thorton Wilder

  1. I love the "When I'm worried and I can't sleep song..." If only I had the voice of Bing:) Now you've got me humming it my head, but at a time in life when it's a nice reminder. No matter what's going on, God is still good.
